Gate News message, on April 11 local time, April 11, an Iranian senior source said that the United States has agreed to unfreeze Iranian assets held in Qatar and other foreign banks, but U.S. officials quickly denied the claim. The Iranian source said this move was seen as a signal that the U.S. is showing “good faith” in the negotiations in Islamabad, and said that the unfrozen funds are one of Iran’s important conditions to the U.S. The source also noted that the issue of the funds is “directly related” to the security passage arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz. Another Iranian source said the United States agreed to unfreeze about $6 billion in funds. The U.S. side, in turn, reiterated that the relevant funds are still subject to restrictions and can only be used for humanitarian purposes such as food, medicine, and agricultural supplies, and emphasized that Iran cannot freely access and use the funds in the short term.
